Uhm. We are waaaay off on the group reading. In fact, we should be discussing WH today. We can just stop if you guys like, but if you want to keep going, then I thought we could combine discussion of WD and AWAl and do WH on the 23rd or 24th and W@W on the 30th. Sound good?
Okay, so, here's my stab at discussion.
In WD, it struck me that what Nita and Kit are doing seperately- Nita training with the kernels, and Kit making universes with his dog- are very much alike. Both give huge, powerful results without a subsequent 'crash' (although finding the kernel takes work) and both allow a person to do what they want with the world- or universe. Just something interesting.
And as for the glede: I looked up the definition and found something else interesting.
1) Any of several birds of prey, including a kite. (from the old english) 2)A live coal, an ember.
The latter definition was coined by Tolkien in the Lord of the Rings. Intriguing, no?
I think that changing your universe, having that sort of power and joy, is one of the yearnings that manifests in almost everyone. Like flying without any contrivances to help you.
Okay, and now for AWAl:
I was in the shower yesterday (that wat'ry, steaming muse! ) and had an interesting thought: what if the statues in Darryl's palace represented the LP somewhat, too? Everyone turning away, no matter what species, and nothing but fears and cold basilisks flapping in the shadows...that would freak It out.
that's all for now folks...
